Called to serve as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Bolivia Cochabamba Mission

This week was awesome. The Lord truly has continued to bless Hermana Lopardo and I, and we have seen so many miracles this week. We definitely have been guided by the Spirit.

First off, Jr got baptized!! He has been such a solid investigator, and he'll be a great help to the ward. He's also been talking a lot about his mission, and he asked us when he could start his mission papers.

Other than him, at the beginning of the week it didn't seem like very many people were progressing, but now we have 5 people with baptismal dates. The people that we've found recently are just crazy prepared. Yesterday, one of our other new investigators, who is only 12 years old, told us that she read the pamphlet for lesson 1, and that she felt something and wants to be baptized. The only downside is that transfers are in 3 weeks, and there's a good chance I may not be here. So, whenever we put baptismal dates, it's a little bittersweet for me haha. But, that's not the important part :)

Overall, things are going great. I feel super blessed and lucky to be here in Tiquipaya. I know the Church is true, and that the Lord truly guides us and answers prayers. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
